ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last trim. So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state. A simple test with my intel x25m ssd: df -h shows: /dev/sdb1 40G 21G 17G 56% /mnt/ext4 Block size: 4096 run the FITRIM with the following parameter: range.start = 0; range.len = UINT64_MAX; range.minlen = 1048576; without the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.505s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.224s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.359s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.178s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.228s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.151s with the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.625s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.269s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run. Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much faster than iterating the whole disk.
